if you could find a decent GSi lump out there go for it but u'd be better off going for a 2.0 16v, much more choice of good ones and better performance. lets face it, insurance will go up anyway for the GSi replacement and in the long run, you will always sell your car easier in the long run.

its easy to get rid of a GSi in my opinion, not many people would buy a 2l engined corsa. Think of the trade in value, a friend of mine had to break his 2l nova up cos no 1 wanted a 2l small car!

£700?! When can you book me in?!
What sort of GSI Engine would it be? Whatevers available or are low-milage ones available (ie under 40k miles)?
Does this include Corsa's wth Air Con? (Mav 3000 Crosses his fingers)

never done with air con so not sure whats involved. the 1.6 engine will just be whatever comes up at the time. best to try and get it off here or migweb.
